Clinical Laboratory Technology (MLTC) |
The biological aspects of microbial structure, metabolism and growth are presented. Emphasis is placed on classification of micro organisms, mostly bacteria, and identification of disease-producing organisms. (Prerequisite: Enrolled in CLAB program or department permission) Lecture: 2 hours, Lab: 4 hours
This course is divided into three sections. The first portion of the course covers basic theories of immunology. The second part covers the various infectious diseases, diseases of the immune system, and how serological testing is used in diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. The third section of the course is the laboratory portion, in which students will learn to perform basic serological tests. (Prerequisite: Enrolled in CLAB program or department permission) Lecture: 2 hours, Lab: 3 hours
The lecture portion will cover the principles of phlebotomy and specimen handling. In the laboratory, the student will perform venipuncture on training arms, venipuncture on adults, capillary punctures, blood film preparation, isolation techniques, blood donor site preparation and specimen processing. This course is a prerequisite for MLTC 1930. (Prerequisite: Enrolled in CLAB program or department permission) Lecture: 10 hours, Lab: 10 hours
The formation of urine and the principles of the laboratory procedures used in the physical, chemical and microscopic examination of urines are discussed. Normal values are presented and the significance of abnormal results explained. Complete urinalysis is performed in the training laboratory. Quality control in the urinalysis laboratory is stressed. Lecture: 2 hours, Lab: 2 hours
This course will cover the red cell antigens and antibodies, antibody identification, crossmatching, donor processing and component therapy. Theory will be presented in lecture, and the student will be provided a laboratory experience to apply these theories to routine laboratory procedures. (Prerequisite: Completion of MLTC 1120 or equivalent or permission of department)
This course is designed for health care workers who perform clinical laboratory tests which are waived tests in a physician’s office or medical care center. The course will include a review of some basic laboratory safety (OSHA regulations), quality control procedures to insure quality assurance, a detailed discussion on CLIA ‘88 waived tests, and instruction on the performance of these tests. It will provide the individual with the technical knowledge and skills required for competent performance of waived laboratory procedures with increased reproducibility accuracy and precision. (Prerequisite: Open to individuals employed in the health care field. PHLE and RENL students - see program requirements) Lecture: 2 hours, Lab: 2 hours
The lecture portion will cover the principles of specimen collection and handling. National standards will be presented. Various specimen collection techniques will be introduced to the healthcare professional, with emphasis on the importance of a properly collected specimen. (Prerequisite: Second year students enrolled in RENL, RESP, XRAY, LPNU and ADNU or department permission) Lecture: 10 hours, Lab: 10 hours
An introduction to the analytical skills needed to correctly perform analytic procedures that yield accurate and precise information. Basic principles and practices of clinical chemistry will be emphasized. Laboratory safety, quality control and statistics, analytical techniques and instrumentation will be stressed. Lecture: 2 hours
This course offers a basic introduction to the clinical laboratory. Current concepts and general principles of all areas connected with the medical laboratory field are explored. Professional adjustment, in regard to patients, doctors and hospital personnel and the role of the health professional in the clinical laboratory will be discussed. The student will be introduced to selected basic techniques used in the clinical laboratory, as well as performed selected techniques in the CLT training laboratory. Lecture: 2 hours, Lab: 2 hours
This course provides clinical laboratory technology students with the opportunity to become proficient in phlebotomy in a clinical laboratory setting. In addition, use of laboratory information systems, accessioning and proper recordkeeping are performed. (Prerequisite: Completion of MLTC 1130 or permission of department) Clinical: 40 hours/week
The student will perform selected procedures in serology and immuno- hematology at the clinical site. (Prerequisite: Completion of MLTC 1120 and 1160) Lab: 40 hours/week
The student will perform selected procedures in urinalysis at the clinical site. (Prerequisite: Completion of MLTC 1150) Lab: 40 hours/week
Workflow in the laboratory has been adjusted due to the introduction of the computer. A look at what was and where laboratories are headed in the future is important for technicians just entering the field. Specimen tracking is emphasized in this hands-on environment. (Prerequisite: COMI 1100) Lecture: 10 hours, Lab: 10 hours
Procedures for cultivation and identification of pathogenic microorganisms from clinical material will be covered. Additional topics such as antimicrobial susceptibility tests, quality control and automation in microbiology will be included. (Prerequisite: MLTC 1110 or equivalent) Lecture: 2 hours, Lab: 4 hours
The study of the structure and function of blood and its role in health and disease is presented. Red blood cells, white blood cells and coagulation factors including platelets are observed and discussed. The classification of leukemias, anemias and other hematological disorders is studied. The development of skills in manual and automated laboratory procedures is stressed. Laboratory procedures include coagulation studies, manual and automated red blood cell, white blood cell and platelet counting, and enumeration of special cells. Films of normal and abnormal peripheral blood are examined. Lecture: 2 hours, Lab: 6 hours
This course is designed for individuals interested in maintaining proficiency in clinical laboratory medicine. It will provide the individual with updated information, current trends and state-of-the-art methodology. Content will cover selected areas of clinical laboratory science. Prerequisite: Graduate technologist or permission of instructor.
The basic principles of spectrophotometry and the diagnostic methods of analysis are presented. The study of protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism, electrolyte and acid-base balance and enzymes and renal function procedures as they relate to diagnostic testing is stressed. Laboratory mathematics and quality control are discussed. Selected laboratory procedures including manual and automated quantitative analysis of serum, plasma and urine are performed. (Prerequisite: Completion of MLTC 1190) Lecture: 3 hours, Lab: 6 hours
This course provides practical application of principles and techniques which have been previously learned. The student will learn by doing actual testing at the bench with the same exposure to realistic conditions under which a technician works. It involves skill development of clinical bacteriology, mycology and parasitology. (Prerequisite: Completion of MLTC 2110) Lab: 32 hours/week
This course provides practical application of principles and techniques which have been previously learned. The purpose of this is for the student to learn by doing actual testing at the bench with the same exposure to realistic conditions under which a technician works. (Prerequisite: Completion of MLTC 2120) Lab: 32 hours/week
The course is designed to examine case studies as they relate to hematology, clinical chemistry, microbiology, urinalysis, immunohematology and immunology. Computer programs and audiovisual slides will be used to enhance the student’s knowledge base. (Prerequisite: Prior preparation of MLTC courses; instructor permission) Lecture: 3 hours
